[RELEASED] scrobble only plugin for XBMC Eden

Update: the plugin is available in the official Eden add-on repository now!

I've created a new scrobble only plugin for XBMC Eden. I'm sure most of you are using trakt utilities and that is likely working just fine for you. No need to use this plugin if you have TU up and running. This new plugin is a stripped down version of TU so we can add it to the official XBMC add-on repository.

It's working quite well for me, but I'd like to have you guys beta test and see how it works for you. The baseline is TU, but I've also tweaked a few things. Pausing/resuming when watching will work properly and pick up the correct location.

A bigger update is most remote streaming content will now scrobble. If the media is correctly identified (i.e. a show has the title/season/episode and a movie has the title/year) it will scrobble as a name based match on trakt.

Further instructions on the github page. Please let me know how it works in your setup. Thanks!

TU has never worked properly for me.
I used the old official plugin, and it worked perfect for Eden.
But today it updated to this, and stopped working - and will not work if i try to go back.
I reinstalled the new version, but sill no luck.

I think figured it out! Both why the TU never worked for me, and why this new official didn't work.
The JSON server is using port 9090, and i have another app using that port.
I shut down the app and now its working.
When i tried yesterday, i had just restarted and apperently not startet the app.
My other XBMC box have nothing on port 9090.

I don't know much about it, but the JSON thing was something new in Eden, right? Then the old plugin didn't use it.

Ah thanks for investigating and figuring this out, now I remember the port thing coming up for trakt utilities as well. The JSON API is newer in Eden yes and the new plugin uses that for everything. The nicest thing is it fires events when you start, pause, stop and that makes the plugin much easier than having to loop and wait to see what is happening.

hi I have a question about the plugin. will it work for anime that is named in absolute order rather than season order? TU requires that they are in season naming which has forced me to rename my anime (which I would love to be able to return to absolute ordering).
cheers

trakt utilities is a differently named plugin, so it can technically allow both to be install at the same time. You can also try just downloading it manually from github, but I confirmed it shows up under Services to download for me.

TU has functionality that instantly toggles things as seen on trakt when xbmc marks them as seen. So, it's probably that. You should be able to see things in the log when using the official trakt plugin and where it scrobbles.
